    How to make windows prioritise a secondary network connection for file transfers ???


    Hi all


    Having an issue between my two windows 10 machines,


    I purchased two 2.5Gbps Ethernet to USB adaptors to try and make backups between my PCs faster without purchasing a expensive switch


    The connection works fine and throughput using iperf is fine


    My problem is that when I just use windows drag and drop etc to copy files between the mapped drives using the 2.5GBE adaptors it just always uses the built in network connection to my 1GBE switch


    My setup:


    PC1: ASHFLIX


    192.168.50.6

    255.255.255.0


    Hostfile on ASHFLIX-

    192.168.50.5 ARCSERV




    PC2: ARCSERV


    192.168.50.5

    255.255.255.0


    Hostfile on ARCSERV-


    192.168.50.6 ashflix


    I tried to edit the 'Hosts' file on the machines with no luck


    Does anyone know how to do it?



    Thanks in advance!


    Ash

    transfer files between computers on a home network

    I don't know why this is so hard to do but I would like to transfer files between a desktop PC running windows 10 pro and a laptop running windows 10 home. I would like to transfer files in both directions. Both computers are on the same home network and are connected wirelessly.

    Could some one provide either specific step by step instructions on how to do this (I googled and found a countless list of instructions that don't work)

    or a link to a reference.

    Thanks,

    I don't know if this is possible but it would be nice to see the computer sending the desired file in the explorer file manager of the computer receiving the desired file and then under the computer see a list
    of shared files and folders.

    Again, this seems like such a reasonable way of sharing files and folders. Shouldn't there be a simple way to do this?

    Help Transfering files over network

    sure probably

    first on wireless your pushing it. things like ISOs will take longer than 1gb of small files some files will go faster so the time is an estimate iv seen it go from an hour to 15min.

    on all machines do the following

    go to your network adapter

    assuming your using ethernet right click and go to properties then click on the configure button. you will get a list with a bunch of things its best not to touch. look for anything that says "duplex" in my case my laptop is 100mbit click the drop down after clicking the setting and look for an option that says "full duplex" if you have an adapter that supports diffirent types the drop down will contain a list that looks similer to this.

    10mbit half duplex
    10mbit full duplex
    100mbit half
    100mbit full

    etc you want to select the highest number that says "full duplex" such as 100mbit full duplex.

    the connection will drop while it makes the adjustments.

    somewireless adapters may or may not have a duplex option if they dont the router itself may have a connection option in the firmware. that i cant help much with since router settings vary alot. but PC wise make sure everything is set to full duplex.

    How to make windows prioritise a secondary network connection for file transfers ???

    ?? How do I PW protect Folders in windows

    hmmm?
    Sharing files and folders overview You can share the files and folders stored on your computer, on a network, and on the Web. The method you choose depends on whom you want to share files with, and what computer they will use to access the files.

    When you share files or folders, they are not as protected as they are when you do not share them. People with access to your computer or your network might be able to read, copy, or change files that are in a shared folder. You should always be aware that the files and folders that you share are available to other people and be sure to monitor your shared files and folders on a regular basis.

    Important

    If your computer is not joined to a domain, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to automatically turn file and printer sharing on or off. To start the Network Setup Wizard, click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Setup Wizard.
    If you both use the same computer

    You can put the files you want to share in the Shared Documents folder. Files stored in the Shared Documents folder or its subfolders are always available to other users on your computer.

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, the Shared Documents, Shared Pictures, and Shared Music folders are not available.
    If both computers are on the same network

    You can share a folder or drive on your computer with others on the network. You can also control whether the files in the shared folder can be modified by other users.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    Note

    If you are connected to a network domain, you will need to set the Access control for the folder or drive after sharing it. For more information, go to To set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions.
    If you want to share your files online

    You can publish pictures and documents on the Web using the Web Publishing Wizard. The files will be stored in a private, online folder that you manage.

    Step-by-step procedure

    If you don't want others to access your files

    You can prevent other users from accessing your folders and the files they contain. When your computer is connected to a domain, this is called setting permissions for your file or folder. When your computer is connected to a workgroup, this is called making your folders private.

    If your computer is connected to a network domain, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
    If your computer is connected to a workgroup, use this procedure:

    Step-by-step procedure
